Two men and four teenagers were arrested and charged in the carjacking of a 70-year-old man earlier this week, according to police.

Officers were called to the 2500 block of Shell Road at about 6:27 p.m. Monday in reference to a robbery complaint, police spokeswoman Cpl. Mary Shackelford said in a news release.

Their investigation revealed that the victim, a 70-year-old Hampton man, was getting into his 2000 Chevrolet Astro van outside his residence when he was approached by multiple suspects, she said. One of them pulled out a firearm and ordered the man to get out of the van.

The individuals took the man's wallet, got into the van and drove away, according to Shackelford.

A concerned resident called police a short time later after seeing six people getting out of the van in the 200 block of Raleigh Avenue.

Police quickly located the individuals and arrested them without incident, Shackelford said. The van was returned to the man, and he was not injured, she said.

The following Newport News residents were charged in connection with the incident:

Taijalon Allen Smith, 18, of the 600 block of Aqua Vista Drive, and Demetrius Elijah Estes, 18, of the 700 block of 25th Street, are charged with one count each of robbery, carjacking, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and conspiracy to commit a felony, according to Shackelford.

They are currently in the custody of the Hampton Sherriff’s Office, she said.

Two 15-year-old and two 17-year-old Newport News boys are charged with one count each of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, carjacking, robbery, conspiracy to commit a felony, and possession of firearm by a juvenile, Shackelford said.
